Abstract :
The development of video-assisted thoracoscopy has changed the practice of thoracic surgery. This report describes a 20-year-old man who successfully underwent thoracoscopic thoracic duct ligation and partial pericardiectomy for primary chylopericardium. We recommend a right-sided thoracoscopic approach to the thoracic duct in the lower thoracic cavity.
